The Macbook Pro that I have is an Intel core i5
which seems to mean that it is 64-bit.
I was thinking I could get a 64 GB USB stick,
install Linux with Wine on it, as well as Windows
Live Mail, and cease using my hard drive.
I can switch to development of PDOS using the
"generic" model, ie:
bios pdos.exe disk.img
for now.
While still being able to use a web browser.
It would be good, but not necessary, to be able to
use a web browser when running on the Mac too.
Any technical barrier to that?
I think I would like the USB stick to be FAT-32, which
is all PDOS can support, which may be useful in the
future. Although the LFN overhead may make things
cumbersome because of the thousands of .eml files
in a single directory.
Any advice on a specific version of Linux and Wine?
I'm not sure Wine is capable of running Windows
Live Mail.
I'm thinking of having some sort of partition that would
allow me to load a future 64-bit version of PDOS instead
of Linux. Presumably all under control of Grub.
Thanks. Paul.
